While on his way there, the comrade, only 16 years of age, together with some friends, spotted a guy sporting nazi paraphernalia on the underground. When confronted, he pulled out a knife, stabbed Carlos, the comrade, in the heart, and another antifascist militant in the lung, while trying to run out of the tube station. Carlos died, the other guy has been badly hurt, but doctors say he will live. ... read full story / add a comment

Article 26 of the Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to education yet since 1979, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has systematically sought to deprive its largest religious minority, the Bahá'í Faith, of the right to a full education. The situation in Iran represents perhaps the only case where the right to education is being intentionally denied to an entire group of people. This denial of education is based entirely on religious discrimination. ... read full story / add a comment

This morning the DOHC [Department of Health and Children] press released on the OECD report on Healthcare. The report is set in a time period that ends at 2005. The DOHC decided not to add the link onto their website so I am publishing it here. Apparently we are doing quite well on Health, a bit of critical underspend and the necessity for the department to juggle the figures. Of course the 2007 Breast Cancer Crisis is not mentioned on this file,but directly under the link there can be found the statement by Ms Harney on the issue (dated last week- the scandal broke on the 4th of September). ... read full story / add a comment

Caring for a relative can be a stressful and traumatic experience. The Government should do its best to help. I am upset at how many people are left caring for others and are given no support due to a means test. Anyone who cares deserves the backup of a Carer's allowance. How many of these allowances could be paid out of Bertie Ahern's self granted pay rise? Who deserves the money more? Bertie Ahern? or the carers in Westport? ... read full story / add a comment
